The committee will actively solicit the involvement of local citizen groups, parent groups, staff and the public. The class size policy adopted by the School Board will be adhered to by the District. However, the School Board may determine that the class size policy cannot be complied within a particular situation because of educational needs beyond the control of the School Board, such as lack of sufficient appropriate facilities, or inadequate resources. Enforcement of the class size policy adopted by the Board will be by the same procedures as apply generally to Board policies. A quarterly report on class size shall be provided to the Board and to the Association president.
